Lord, Lord! methought, what pain it was to drown!What dreadful noise of waters in mine ears!What ugly sights of death within mine eyes!Methought I saw a thousand fearful wrecks,Ten thousand men that fishes gnawed upon,Wedges of gold, great anchors, heaps of pearl,Inestimable stones, unvalued jewels,All scattered in the bottom of the sea:Some lay in dead mens skulls; and in those holesWhere eyes did once inhabit, there were crept,As t were in scorn of eyes, reflecting gems.
